"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

My Bud Speaketh...

"Preaching is not about your audience being convicted,
it is about you preaching a convicted message."

What a timely reminder. If we aren't preaching with words, we are preaching with our lives. We are walking-pulpits man! I do not mean we are walking plexiglass pulpits like the one at our churches. We are not "plastic-Christians". No plastic-mould could contain the fullness of Jesus. I think a better analogy would be us being like clay in a potter's hands. Thought they may look alike, no two pots are ever the same and they bear the signature of the creativity of the potter.

So it's at the pulpit where the a convicted message is preached, so it's the conviction that we must live by. May we be like Jesus as he mould us with his hands each day.
